Comforts Fund Opens Club In London
London, Thursday.
The Duke of Gloucester paid a tribute to the Australian Comforts Fund when, with the Duchess of Gloucester, he performed the opening ceremony at the Australian Forces Club.
“I wish all who contributed to the fund could see for themselves what a very good job is being done here,” he said. “I should like relatives and the friends to know how very well the men are being provided for in London.”
Several hundreds of the R.A.A.F. rose to their feet and applauded enthusiastically when the Duke and Duchess entered the cinema hall at Australia House.
Twelve airmen, amongst whom were the most highly decorated members of the R.A.A.F. in Britain, were presented to their Highnesses.
The Duchess chatted with the airmen and expressed the hope to see them again in Australia.
